ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Accessible by design. Evidence before badges.

Banao / SYNTHCODE GOV is designed toward GIGW 3.0 and WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility expectations for a public-sector technical evaluator. This statement describes what is implemented today and what is still subject to independent conformity testing.

Current evaluator features

Keyboard-first navigationSkip link, visible focus states, focus-managed dialogs and keyboard-operable primary controls.

High-contrast modeA persistent High contrast control also respects the user's prefers-contrast: more preference.

Readable dark paletteImportant text/status colours are designed above WCAG normal-text contrast thresholds; colour is not the sole PASS/HOLD/DENY signal.

Responsive reflowResponsive layout rules cover narrow displays and evaluator panels; browser zoom/text scaling is not intentionally blocked.

Reduced motionprefers-reduced-motion disables non-essential animation/transitions.

Semantic status updatesLive proof and control-plane status areas use ARIA live/status semantics where asynchronous results matter.

Conformance boundary

No STQC/GIGW certification is claimed for this evaluation build. The product targets relevant GIGW 3.0 / WCAG 2.1 Level AA practices, but formal conformity requires manual and automated accessibility evaluation across supported browsers, assistive technologies, 200% text resize/zoom, reflow, keyboard navigation and content states.

Known evaluation limitations

The evaluator's static contract checks verify required semantics/functions/styles, but they are not a substitute for independent assistive-technology testing.
Complex engineering evidence panels can become information-dense in Expert mode; Guided mode is the recommended first-time evaluator path.
Third-party repository content and external provider responses may contain text outside Banao's editorial control.
Institutional SSO/RBAC and department-owned interfaces remain pilot integrations and require accessibility validation in the final department environment.

Accessibility feedback
